Possible High Moisture during Spawning
    #26781664 - 06/25/20 09:43 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

So I bought my very first grow kit and started it about 10 days ago. Sterilized the straw substrate and added the pellets with the mycelium. It said to mix the substrate in the bag with the mycelium, loosley roll the top of the bag and leave it in the dark for 12 days between 26 C and 28 C.
I have it in the correct conditions but since it is on a seed warming pad it creates lots of condensation inside the bag. I try and keep the bag tented but the condensation collects on the poly and pulls the bag down so it rests on the mycelium. When i check on it, instead of being a bright white, the mycelium has a pale white colour and is partly transparent due to it being so moist.

Will this harm the mycelium?

Thanks, this is my first post.

Do u have a thermostat hooked up to the mat?  Direct contact with a heating pad is no good.  At leas elevate the bag with some jar lids or a modded tote resting on jar lids on the mat if u cant create the conditions in your room.

Pic?

I have cubensis.
I have a thermostat hooked up, the bag is separated from the heating pad by a cardboard box I have it in.
I can post a pic of the setup later.

I dont have the bag directly on the heater, its in a box.
I do not understand how airflow on the exterior of a plastic bag will help.
Do you mean its shouldn't be exposed to direct heat?
Thanks for your help.

Room temp and ambient light is good for cubensis colonization. That heater is possibly overheating things.

Mycelium creates its own heat as it colonizes so wherever your room temp is it will be a little warmer already. I colonize everything at about 70-72f

I’m not sure what kind of kit you’re using but the standard method is to colonize grain and once it’s ready you mix with bulk substrate and let that colonize in ambient light. Most people now it seems to straight to fruiting conditions when they spawn to bulk and it’s been working well for me.

I’m not sure what methods this kit used but if you’re currently colonizing your bulk substrate you need to make sure it’s getting some fresh air and is not super hot.
